I’d love to see a stop to the flame wars, but only if it is applied to all the candidate supporters. I think we could discuss the issues without attacking each other personally.
However, when it comes to the candidates themselves, we should be able to post things about the candidates without being considered flame-war-baiters. Assuming the poster doesn’t start the flame-war in their comment section, it’s not really the fault of the poster if a candidate’s supporters get upset at some article and start flaming.
God, did I just defend flame-baiting? It’s too late in the evening for me. I really hate the flame wars. And I hate that supporters of two candidates I like, and a 3rd that i think I like, are always trashing each other’s candidates and also personally attacking each other and trying to get each other banned and dancing on the ashes of long-time zotted freepers who step over the line.
Depends on the timeliness, accuracy, relevance, and completeness of what is posted.
Articles from 2008 which do not reflect more recent public interviews of a candidate are unlikely to have been posted in good faith, when posted by partisan advocates of another candidate.
Cheers!
Starting a thread using old info about a non-declared candidate, who the poster of the thread, thinks the non-declared isn’t running, is starting a flame war, but it’s all calmed now.
Hello and a good late night to you!
One question charles...and I agree with your post
These jerks take the fun out of any of it...and some have no ideological core If you know their history of whom they support here..they are now back promoting the same old cult of personality ans forum intrigue they live for all the while talking platitudes
But I ask...how many Palin supporters have been zotted in these recent purges?
Not one that I know of....that pretty much tells what time it is..
Several decade long posters have been banned of late...and one I know was a Bachmann supporter..
Some of these folks are running the same crap they always run here..the high school clique...Sarah is just their new home coming queen...which is a shame...there are plenty of reasonable Sarah supporters here who will welcome any social conservative ..their nasty zot loving fanaticism runs folks off...and I don’t think we can afford that
